The Message
Universal Poplab Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A plaque to fit my hole
I've been trolling through the darkness
For a light to fill my soul
There's a hole in my skin
Where the world can get in
There's a hole in my soul
I've been waiting for a message
Someone to write my book of truth
If it tells me I've been rescued
I won't require proof
There's a hole in my skin
Where the world can get in
There's a hole in my soul
Where your message will fit in
There's a hole in my skin
Where the world can get in
There's a hole in my soul
Where your message will fit in
I've been waiting for a message
A plaque to fit my hole
I've been trolling through the darkness
For a light to fill my soul
There's a hole in my skin
Where the world can get in
There's a hole in my soul
Where your message will fit in
There's a hole in my skin
Where the world can get in
There's a hole in my soul
Where your message will fit in
There's a hole in my skin
Where the world can get in
There's a hole in my soul
Where your message will fit in
There's a hole in my skin
Where the world can get in
There's a hole in my soul
Where your message will fit in
There's a hole in my skin
Where the world can get in
There's a hole in my soul
Where your message will fit in
The lyrics of Universal Poplab's "The Message" speak to a deep longing for spiritual guidance and a sense of purpose. The repeated refrain of "there's a hole in my skin, where the world can get in, there's a hole in my soul, where your message will fit in" suggests a vulnerability and a desire for something to fill this emptiness. The singer is waiting for a message that will offer clarity and understanding, perhaps even a feeling of being "rescued" from the darkness they have been trolling through. This message will serve as the missing piece that will make them whole.
The imagery of a "plaque to fit my hole" and "someone to write my book of truth" suggests a desire for external validation, a need for someone to tell them what to believe and how to live their life. The line "if it tells me I've been rescued, I won't require proof" speaks to a blind faith in this message, as if the mere fact of receiving it will be enough to bring a sense of purpose and direction.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a deep yearning for connection and meaning, a desire to find one's place in the world and be guided by a greater purpose. The repeated refrain underscores the sense of emptiness and vulnerability, while also offering a glimmer of hope that the right message will eventually come along to fill this void.
